SOLIQUA 100/33 is a combination of insulin glargine and lixisenatide and is indicated as an adjunct to diet and exercise to improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes mellitus inadequately controlled on basal insulin (less than 60 units daily) or lixisenatide.

Limitations of Use:

Has not been studied in patients with a history of pancreatitis. Consider other antidiabetic therapies in patients with a history of pancreatitis.

Is not recommended for use in combination with lixisenatide or another GLP-1 RA.

Is not indicated for use in patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus or diabetic ketoacidosis.

Has not been studied in patients with gastroparesis and is not recommended for use in patients with gastroparesis.

In patients with known hypersensitivity to the active substance(s) or to any of the product components.

Warnings and Precautions

Anaphylaxis and Serious Hypersensitivity Reactions: In clinical trials of lixisenatide, there have been cases of anaphylaxis and other serious hypersensitivity reactions including angioedema. Severe, life-threatening, generalized allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis and angioedema, can occur with insulins, including insulin glargine. If hypersensitivity reactions occur, discontinue SOLIQUA 100/33. Use caution in patients with a history of anaphylaxis or angioedema with another GLP-1 RA because it is unknown whether such patients will be predisposed to anaphylaxis.

Pancreatitis: Acute pancreatitis, including fatal and non-fatal hemorrhagic or necrotizing pancreatitis, has been observed in patients treated with GLP-1 RAs. Cases of pancreatitis were reported in clinical trials of lixisenatide. After initiation of SOLIQUA 100/33, observe patients for signs and symptoms of pancreatitis (e.g., persistent severe abdominal pain, sometimes radiating to the back and which may be accompanied by vomiting). If pancreatitis is suspected, SOLIQUA 100/33 should promptly be discontinued. If pancreatitis is confirmed, restarting SOLIQUA 100/33 is not recommended and other antidiabetic therapies should be considered.

Never Share a SOLIQUA 100/33 SoloStar® Pen between Patients: Pen-sharing poses a risk for transmission of blood-borne pathogens, even if the needle is changed. Do not withdraw SOLIQUA 100/33 from the pen with a syringe.

Hyperglycemia or Hypoglycemia with Changes in Insulin Regimen: Changes in SOLIQUA 100/33 regimen may affect glycemic control and predispose to hypoglycemia or hyperglycemia. Changes should be made cautiously and the frequency of blood glucose monitoring should be increased. Adjustments in concomitant oral antidiabetic treatment may be needed.

Medication Errors: SOLIQUA 100/33 contains two drugs. Do not administer more than 60 units of SOLIQUA 100/33, which may result in overdose of the lixisenatide component. Do not use other GLP-1 RAs. Accidental mix-ups between insulin products have been reported. Instruct patients to always check the label before administration.

Hypoglycemia: Hypoglycemia is the most common adverse reaction associated with insulin-containing therapy, which may be life-threatening. Increase frequency of glucose monitoring with changes to: insulin dosage, coadministered glucose lowering medications, meal pattern, physical activity, and in patients with renal or hepatic impairment and hypoglycemia unawareness.

Acute Kidney Injury: There have been reports of acute renal failure and worsening of chronic failure, which may sometimes require hemodialysis in patients treated with GLP-1 RAs, such as lixisenatide. Some of these events were reported in patients without known underlying renal disease. Most reports occurred in patients who experienced nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or dehydration; advise patients to take precautions to avoid fluid depletion. Monitor blood glucose and renal function in patients with renal impairment. SOLIQUA 100/33 is not recommended in patients with end-stage renal disease.

Immunogenicity: Patients may develop antibodies to insulin and lixisenatide. If there is worsening glycemic control or failure to achieve targeted glycemic control, significant injection site reactions or allergic reactions, then other antidiabetic therapy should be considered.

Hypokalemia: All insulin containing products can cause hypokalemia, which may be life-threatening. Untreated hypokalemia may cause respiratory paralysis, ventricular arrhythmia, and death. Monitor potassium levels in patients at risk of hypokalemia and treat if indicated.

Fluid Retention and Heart Failure with Concomitant Use of PPAR-gamma Agonists: Fluid retention, which may lead to or exacerbate heart failure, can occur with concomitant use of thiazolidinediones (TZDs) and insulin. These patients should be observed for signs and symptoms of heart failure. If heart failure occurs, dosage reduction or discontinuation of TZD must be considered.

The signs of hypoglycemia may be reduced or absent in patients taking anti-adrenergic drugs (eg, beta-blockers, clonidine, guanethidine, and reserpine).

SOLIQUA 100/33 delays gastric emptying, which may reduce the rate of absorption of orally administered medication with a narrow therapeutic ratio or that require careful clinical monitoring. If such medications are to be administered with food, do not co-administer with SOLIQUA 100/33.

Antibiotics, acetaminophen, or other medications that are dependent on threshold concentrations for efficacy, or where a delay in effect is undesirable, should be administered at least 1 hour before SOLIQUA 100/33 injection.

Oral contraceptives should be taken at least 1 hour before SOLIQUA 100/33 administration or 11 hours after.

In patients with known hypersensitivity to the active substance(s) or to any of the product components.
